common-of-a-confessor-doctor (4 saints) is another "same content,
different id" case: live-verified votive=C4a byte-identical to plain
votive=C4 (Common-of-a-Confessor-Bishop), so duplicated verbatim rather
than authored fresh, matching the already-existing matins-hymn-common-
of-a-confessor-doctor.yml precedent.
common-of-an-apostle (3 saints/feasts) is genuinely distinct: chapter
Eph 2:19-20, hymn "Exsúltet cælum láudibus" (byte-identical Lauds/
Vespers), shared versicle "Annuntiavérunt ópera Dei." Also duplicated
under the separate common-of-apostles (plural) id used by the Octave of
Ss. Peter and Paul.
Proofs: St. John Damascene (own day) + St. Robert Bellarmine (First
Vespers) for Confessor-Doctor; Commemoration of St. Paul (own day) + the
Beheading of St. John the Baptist (First Vespers) for Apostle.

Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617)
votive=C6: chapter 2 Cor 10:17-18, hymn "Jesu, coróna Vírginum" (byte-
identical Lauds/Vespers), shared versicle "Diffúsa est grátia in lábiis
tuis" -- only the two responsories differ between the hours. Cross-
checked plain common-of-a-virgin (St. Praxedes) renders the same real
content, matching the already-existing benedictus-antiphon-common-of-a-
virgin.yml precedent -- duplicated the same 7 files under that id too.
Proof: St. Apollonia's own clean year (2029-02-09, her 2026 date collides
with St. John of Matha) for Lauds, St. Praxedes's real First-Vespers
anticipation for Vespers.

Same finding as common-of-a-confessor: live-verified (St. Maurus, Jan 15;
St. Odo, Feb 7) that Common-of-an-Abbot's real Lauds/Vespers content is
identical to Common-of-a-Confessor-Not-Bishop's -- an Abbot isn't
necessarily a bishop, so the traditional rite reuses the plain Confessor
common for them. Duplicated the same 7 files under this id, matching the
existing benedictus-antiphon-common-of-an-abbot.yml precedent. Proof

Fixed a real audit-methodology bug first: the bulk gap-audit was sampling
each saint's own date via prayVespera, which reflects whatever saint
claims First Vespers that evening (often a neighboring day's), not the
sampled saint's own category. Redid it via prayLaudes (no anticipation).
That surfaced the real finding: common-of-a-confessor (37 saints, this
app's largest remaining gap) isn't a distinct liturgical Common -- it's
common-of-a-confessor-not-bishop under a different label. St. Joseph's
and St. Thomas Aquinas's chapter is byte-identical to the already-
authored Sir 31:8-9 text, and several of the 37 saints' own file comments
already say "vide C5" (Confessor Not a Bishop) directly. Not relabeled
across the 37 saint files, since matins-hymn-common-of-a-confessor.yml
and benedictus-antiphon-common-of-a-confessor.yml already establish this
plain id as the real, working one for those saints' Matins/Benedictus
content -- duplicated the Lauds/Vespers bundle under this id too, to
match that existing convention.
Updates two existing tests whose dates collided with this fix: the
FERIAL_MONDAY constant (moved off St. Raymond Nonnatus's own day) and a
new Vespers proof on St. Joseph's First Vespers.

Third Common category (17 real users) with no Lauds/Vespers bundle
authored. Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum
1617) votive=C4: chapter Sir 44:16-17 "Ecce sacérdos magnus," Lauds hymn
"Jesu Redémptor ómnium," shared versicle "Justum dedúxit Dóminus per vias
rectas." Found the Vespers hymn is byte-identical to Common-of-a-
Confessor-Not-Bishop's own ("Iste Conféssor Dómini sacrátus") even though
the chapter, both responsories, and the Lauds hymn all genuinely differ
between the two categories -- reused that already-authored text verbatim
rather than re-deriving it.
No real Duplex-II-classis+ saint exists in this category, so the Vespers
proof uses St. Ubald's real First-Vespers anticipation instead of a
votive-only proof. Updates one existing test (2026-04-20, Paschaltide
seasonal office) whose date turned out to also anticipate St. Anselm's
First Vespers, previously masked by this same gap.

St. Zephyrinus (Aug 26, common-of-a-martyr-bishop, Simplex) claims First
Vespers over St. Louis's Aug 25, but that evening was showing the plain
ferial hymn instead of a real Common-of-a-Martyr hymn: no content had
been authored yet for this Common category's Lauds/Vespers bundle, so
resolveOfficeBundle's chapter lookup came back missing and the whole
bundle fell through to the ferial default.
Live-verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617)
votive=C2b: chapter Jac 1:12, Lauds hymn "Martyr Dei, qui unicum," Vespers
hymn "Deus tuorum militum," shared versicle "Justus ut palma florebit."
Used the votive-office view rather than a real saint's own day for the
same structural reason as the earlier Confessor-Not-Bishop fix: every
real Common-of-a-Martyr-Bishop saint either has proper content of his own
(St. Lawrence, St. Stephen) or never reaches the rank needed to keep his
own Vespers (St. Zephyrinus, St. Callistus). Cross-checked votive=C2/C2a/
C2b/C2-1 all render identical text, so the same 7 files were duplicated
under the plain common-of-a-martyr id too (St. Hadrian, St. Hermes, St.
Fidelis of Sigmaringen).
Updates one existing Vespers test whose date (2026-03-03) turned out to
also anticipate St. Lucius I's First Vespers, previously masked by this
same content gap; adds two new proof tests and a TODO.md entry.

hasFirstVespers() required Semiduplex-or-higher, so a bare Simplex
feast could never anticipate the evening before it. Live-verified
this was too strict: St. Zephyrinus (Aug 26, plain Simplex) claims
First Vespers over St. Louis (Aug 25, also Simplex) in the reference
engine -- "Vespera de sequenti; nihil de præcedenti." A Simplex feast
has no Second Vespers of its own, but it does still get First Vespers;
there's no rank floor at all, only keepsOwnSecondVespers' separate
question of whether the preceding day outranks the claim.
This also surfaces St. Zephyrinus's Magnificat antiphon, which now
actually gets used (St. Louis, previously shown by the old bug, is
permanently boxed out of ever governing real Vespers in this merged
calendar -- Bartholomew outranks him the evening before, Zephyrinus
the evening after, every year -- so his own Magnificat antiphon was
never authored). Added st-zephyrinus-magnificat-antiphon.yml, live-
verified bilingual text ("Iste Sanctus...").

Real Monastic 1617 has no Preces at the Little Hours, and that was
previously documented as intentional. Per this project's "not a
reconstruction" design, Prime was recently given Preces in the secular
Tridentine form as a deliberate deviation from Monastic — do the same
here: the reference engine's ferial minor-hour Preces (Kyrie, Pater
Noster, then "Domine Deus virtutum, converte nos..." V/R pairs) is
authored as a single shared common id and wired into all three hours
after the chapter. By explicit choice this is said every day regardless
of rank, mirroring Prime's own "every ferial day" simplification, rather
than importing the reference engine's Sunday/feast form, whose sourcing
(a V/R block reused from Compline) looks like a data quirk rather than
genuine minor-hour content.

Every capitulum-*.yml under the three Little Hours combined the chapter,
"R. Deo grátias"/"Thanks be to God", and the trailing V./R. pair into one
flat single-line string. The .lang-column CSS already renders on
white-space: pre-line (as little-hour-conclusio.yml's block-scalar text
already demonstrated), so the run-together rendering was purely a missing
line-break bug in the source YAML, not a CSS or resolver issue.

Monastic Prime's own Dominicales Preces drop the "Et ego ad te, Domine,
clamavi..." versicle block and shorten the closing "Miserere nostri,
Domine... Fiat misericordia tua..." set. Prefer the secular Tridentine
form instead (live-verified against Divinum Officium's "Tridentine -
1906" version), keeping "beato Patri nostro Benedicto" in the Confiteor
by explicit choice even though the real secular Confiteor omits it.
The Sunday/ferial by-day-kind split stays as-is; the ferial form
(prime-preces-feriales.yml) is unchanged and continues to show on every
ferial day by deliberate choice, more generously than the historical
rubric.

resolveMatinsHymn gained a Common-category tier (override -> octave ->
Common category -> season -> ferial), reusing matins-psalmody-

te-decet-laus.yml, wired into both matins.ts branches that render a Te

Also drops Psalm 129 (De profundis) from the Lauds ferial Preces and
Psalm 50 (Miserere) from the Vespers ferial Preces, per direct

The later post-Pentecost Sundays' real Nocturn 2 patristic content isn't
keyed by Pentecost offset in the reference engine — it's keyed by civil
calendar month/week (the old "Scriptura occurrens" cycle), which shifts
relative to post-pentecost-NN every year depending on Easter's date. Port
Date.pm's monthday() algorithm (pre-1955/Tridentine rubrics) as a new,
date-driven id, author all 20 August-November month-week files from the
reference engine's Tempora/0MN-0.txt sources, and pool them in
hours/matins.ts as a third, independent reading source alongside the

Closes the gap the user found on 2026-08-23 (post-pentecost-13's Matins had
no patristic reading): nocturn-readings/ had content for only one temporal
id (post-pentecost-15, the original mechanism proof date). Since
resolveTemporalId maps every day in a liturgical week to the same id, one
file per id covers the whole week — authored all 23 remaining
post-pentecost-NN ids (01-14, 16-24) from the reference engine's own
Tempora/PentNN-0.txt files. Trinity Sunday (01) keeps its own full proper
office including a displaced-Sunday commemoration; 02-11 have real Nocturn
2+3 content; 12 onward are Nocturn-3-only (homily, Gospel incipit skipped
per convention), reusing the same two responsories the source itself
cross-references week to week.
Rest of the temporal cycle (Advent/Christmas/Epiphany/Septuagesima/Lent/
Easter) is a separate follow-up pass, tracked in TODO.md.

Researched whether September/Advent Ember days belong in the
movable-feasts.ts table alongside Christ the King/Immaculate Heart of
Mary. Live-verified against the reference engine they don't: Ember days
are privileged ferias (a saint can still win outright against them), not
named feasts contesting the day by rank.
Two smaller pieces instead: calendar/temporal.ts's septemberEmberDayOffset
(Sunday nearest Sept 14, same "nearest" arithmetic adventStart already
used, factored into a shared nearestSunday helper) feeds a new
resolveTemporalCategory check giving those 3 dates privileged-feria-minor
(live-verified correct); calendar/ember-days.ts's applyEmberDay relabels
the day's own temporal id to the Ember day's own (so its real content is
found) when the feria itself wins, or adds a commemoration when a saint
does. Advent Ember days needed no precedence change -- Advent's own
season default already covers them.
Found and fixed a real bug along the way: matins.ts's nocturnReadingIds
only ever pulled a commemorated *sanctoral* id's own readings, never a
commemorated *temporal* one's -- so a commemorated Ember day (the common
case) would never have surfaced its own content. Same root cause as the
day.winner.id gap the IHM relocation fixed earlier, just hiding in the
commemorations loop instead.
Authored all 6 days' real collect + 3 Matins readings each, transcribed
directly from the reference engine (September: Tempora/093-{3,5,6}.txt;
Advent: Tempora/Adv3-{3,5,6}.txt, whose lessons are themselves a
cross-reference to the Annunciation's own Common, followed and
transcribed from there). Kept as 3 separate readings per day rather than
the usual combine-into-one default, since each carries its own
genuinely distinct proper responsory.

Fixed Aug 22 collided outright with the Assumption's own octave-closing
day (both this project's blended calendar tracks are kept deliberately,
so one shouldn't permanently suppress the other). Moved IHM to the
Saturday after the Feast of the Sacred Heart -- its real diocesan date
from 1914 until Pius XII's 1944 fixed-date decree, and also the date the
1969 reform returned to.
Required real new mechanism, not just a data move: a new bespoke
calendar/index.ts override (applyImmaculateHeart, following the existing
applyMarianSaturday/applyChristTheKing precedent), a move from the
sanctoral saints store to the temporal-feasts store (different propers
lookup entirely), and a real bug fix in matins.ts's nocturnReadingIds,
which only ever picked up a *sanctoral* winner's own reading file.

Monastic 1617 itself is inconsistent: the feast/closing octave day
render the old pre-dogma "Famulórum tuórum..." collect, but the
interior octave days (16/18/19/21) render the newer "Omnípotens
sempitérne Deus, qui Immaculátam..." collect from the 1954 Divino
Afflatu revision -- a data cross-reference slip in the reference
engine, not a deliberate rubric. vu already used one collect uniformly
across the whole octave rather than replicating the split; switch that
shared collect to the newer text per user preference.
Lauds/Vespers were falling back to a bare collect for her commemoration
since only the collect had been authored. Live-verified the antiphon
and versicle against the reference engine (Divino Afflatu - 1954,
1955-08-21, the nearest year her feast actually fell on a Sunday and
was commemorated rather than won).

Benedictus, Magnificat, and Nunc Dimittis had the Gloria Patri baked
verbatim into their propers YAML with no Triduum suppression; Matins'
Nocturn 3 OT canticles had none at all. Give the 'canticle' ResolvedPart
the same centrally-attached gloriaPatri field psalms already got, strip
the baked-in text, and drop Lauds' now-redundant local append/Triduum
check — live-verified that canticles follow the exact same Triduum-only
omission as psalms (e.g. Benedictus at Lauds of Holy Thursday).
A tie between an occurring saint's rank and an active octave now favors
the octave only on its own elevated closing day (live-verified: St.
Hyacinth vs. St. Lawrence's own Aug 17 closing day), not on an ordinary
octave day, where a tied saint still wins as before -- confirmed against
two already-tested counterexamples (St. Thomas of Canterbury, St.
Nicholas of Tolentino) that a blanket tie-flip would have broken.
getDayLabel previously dropped every commemoration whenever the day's
winner was a plain saint, and dropped every non-headline active octave
even when an octave itself won -- both fixed. Rank is now shown after
the day's own winner's name (previously not shown anywhere in the UI).
Also authored assumption-octave-day-3.yml, a real content gap (Aug 17,
day 3 of her octave) surfaced while fixing the above.
Ant+V/R+collect "Commemoratio Octavæ" blocks for Christmas, St. Stephen,
St. John, and Holy Innocents, sourced from the reference engine's Sancti/

Own real Oratio and Nocturn 2-3 content (Duplex majus). This was the
only real gap left in December -- the rest of the month was already

St. Raphael's new fixed day (Oct 24, Duplex majus) collided with the
"clean, empty Saturday" fixture used by three tests for Marian
Saturday/Lauds-psalmody-override behavior; moved all three to 2026-07-04,

Pius X, St. Lawrence Justinian, Ss. Protus and Hyacinth, the Holy Name

proper content except Nocturn 2, a real cross-reference to Passion
Friday's own temporal content), the Impression of the Stigmata of St.

Ss. Protus and Hyacinth (Sep 11) were previously excluded under a
stale "real secondary saint blocked by the Nativity's own octave, same
as St. Clare in August" note -- wrong, same class of error already
corrected for St. Tiburtius/Susanna in August: the octave-window
exclusion was never a real rule. Sep 15 (day 8 of the Nativity's own
octave) is now also the Seven Sorrows' own fixed day (Duplex II

alongside her -- updated september-sanctoral.test.ts's own "excluded

Heart of Mary as the winner, with the Assumption's octave still
commemorated alongside her.
- day-label.test.ts: the two octave-priority tests pinned to Aug 17
(now St. Hyacinth's own day) moved their "day 8 alone" case to All
Saints' own octave (Nov 8, still open); the two-octaves-overlap
comparison can no longer be demonstrated via any real date in this
app since every day where St. Lawrence's and the Assumption's octaves
genuinely overlap is now real sanctoral content -- the underlying
`pickWinningOctave` mechanism itself stays covered by
tests/calendar/octaves.test.ts's own synthetic-data unit test.
- vespers.test.ts: the Thursday Ps 138 split test moved off Aug 20,
whose own first Vespers is now claimed by St. Jane Frances de
Chantal's fixed day (Aug 21).

Continues the full-year sanctoral import: the Most Precious Blood of Our
Lord (Duplex I Classis, full proper office, elevated by Pius XI for the
1933 Redemption jubilee), the Visitation of the BVM (Duplex II Classis,
full proper office), St. Leo II, St. Anthony Mary Zaccaria, the Octave
Day of Ss. Peter and Paul (own real content, not a bare continuation),
Ss. Cyril and Methodius, St. Elizabeth of Portugal, St. Henry, Our Lady
of Mount Carmel, St. Vincent de Paul, and St. Ignatius of Loyola.
Also fixes a real pre-existing bug surfaced while authoring St. Leo II:
an earlier June sanctoral pull had mapped him to "06-28" (his own vita
text mentions his burial "upon the 28th day of June," but his actual
liturgical feast, per the reference engine's Sancti/07-03.txt, is July
3) with no saints/st-leo-ii.yml ever authored for it -- a wrong-date
stub, same class of artifact as the pre-existing St. Apollinaris
wrong-date bug already documented in july-sanctoral.test.ts. Removed
the stale June 28 entry now that he's correctly authored on July 3.
Two day-label tests pinned to Trinity-Sunday-relative dates that now
collide with new fixed feasts (Jul 6: Octave Day of Ss. Peter and Paul)
were moved to collision-free years/dates, and the July stub test
covering "pure octave-continuation days" was updated to a date (July 4)
that's still genuinely unmapped, since most of that range turned out to
have real content after all.

Continues the full-year sanctoral import: St. Angela Merici, St. Francis
Caracciolo, St. Boniface of Mainz (Bishop and Martyr, Apostle of Germany --
distinct from the earlier, unrelated St. Boniface Martyr already on May 14),
St. Norbert, St. Margaret of Scotland, and St. Aloysius Gonzaga.
Two of the new fixed dates (June 1, June 4) fall on dates used by two
day-label tests pinned to specific Trinity Sunday years; moved those to
years/dates free of the new entries, with explanatory comments.

Continues the full-year sanctoral import (see TODO.md/memory for Jan-Apr):
St. Pius V, St. Antoninus, St. Robert Bellarmine, St. John Baptist de la
Salle, St. Paschal Baylon, St. Venantius, St. Bernardine of Siena, St. John
Baptist de Rossi, St. Augustine of Canterbury, St. Mary Magdalene de Pazzi,
and the Queenship of the BVM (May 31, Duplex II Classis, instituted by Pius
XII's 1954 "Ad cæli Reginam" — full proper content, not a Common fallback).
Adding the Queenship to May 31 surfaces a real collision with Trinity
Sunday in years where Trinity falls on May 31 (2026): since this app
models Trinitytide Sundays as plain ordinary-sunday with no special
first-class standing, a Duplex+ sanctoral feast wins outright there per
the existing precedence rule. Updated the two tests pinned to that date
accordingly, with a third moved to a Trinity Sunday date (2023-06-04)
free of any sanctoral entry to keep testing the octave-vs-anchor-day
interaction in isolation.

St. Isidore of Seville, St. Vincent Ferrer, St. Hermenegild, St. Anselm,
St. Fidelis of Sigmaringen, St. Peter Canisius -- April complete.
St. Peter Canisius is the second common-of-a-confessor-doctor saint
(after St. John Damascene in March), same benedictusCommon reuse
pattern. St. Hugh, Abbot (Apr 1) checked and correctly skipped: his own
file is Commemoratio-rank with only a collect, no Lectio content at
all to source.
npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

St. John Capistrano -- March complete
Finishes March's sweep of previously-never-added sanctoral content.
The Annunciation (Mar 25) was one of the two feasts literally named in
this app's original stale "fixed BVM feast, excluded per the usual
convention" note (alongside Purification, already fixed).
St. John Damascene is the first common-of-a-confessor-doctor saint;
his own Commune/C5a points its own Benedictus antiphon back at C4a's,
so he reuses the already-authored
benedictus-antiphon-common-of-a-confessor-bishop.yml directly rather
than duplicating it.
npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

of Jerusalem (March)
Continuing the sweep of previously-never-added sanctoral content. New
shared Common templates: collect-c7b.yml and
benedictus-antiphon-common-of-several-women-martyrs.yml (Commune/C7b,
"several women Martyrs, not Virgins" -- Perpetua and Felicity's own
Common category, not authored before now).
St. Gabriel Archangel (Mar 24), the Annunciation (Mar 25), St. John
Damascene (Mar 27), and St. John Capistrano (Mar 28) are still open --
substantial feasts left for a follow-up pass.
npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

Purification of the BVM (Feb 2), St. Andrew Corsini (Feb 4), St. John
of Matha (Feb 8), Apparition of the Immaculate BVM at Lourdes (Feb 11),
Ss. Seven Founders of the Servite Order (Feb 12), St. Gabriel of Our
Lady of Sorrows (Feb 27) -- all had real, complete Matins content in
the reference engine and no exclusion comment; simply never reached
during the earlier month-by-month sanctoral pulls. Continuing the same
sweep as January's St. Francis de Sales/St. Martina/St. John Bosco.
Test update (not a regression): St. Andrew Corsini transfers onto Feb 5
in years where Sexagesima falls on his own Feb 4, outranking St. Agatha
when it does -- february-sanctoral.test.ts's proof year for Agatha
moved from 2029 (now a collision year) to 2025 (clean).
npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

Per direct instruction to import all available sanctoral content
regardless of rubric-era markers: these three had real, complete Matins
content in the reference engine and were simply never added during the
earlier month-by-month sanctoral pulls (no exclusion comment, no
placeholder -- just never reached). First of a broader sweep across the
whole calendar.
New shared Common template: benedictus-antiphon-common-of-a-confessor.yml
(Commune/C5's own Ant 1) -- the first common-of-a-confessor saint that
needed one; st-alexius.yml (the only prior user of this category) had
used a Cistercian-specific alternate instead.
npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

Finding of the Holy Cross (May 3), the Transfiguration (Aug 6), the
Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Sep 14), and Dedication of the Basilica of
the Most Holy Savior (Nov 9, the Lateran) were all excluded under the
same stale "fixed feast of the Lord, not modeled" note that turned out
wrong for Our Lady of the Snows. All four have real, complete content in
the reference engine. Presentation of the BVM (Nov 21) was excluded
under the equivalent "fixed BVM feast" note and is added the same way.
- finding-of-the-holy-cross: fully proprium, own collect/antiphon/Matins
throughout; now correctly outranks
ss-alexander-eventius-theodulus-and-juvenal, matching what that
saint's own file already documented as the live reality.
- transfiguration: same proprium shape. Its subordinate saints (Ss.
Xystus/Felicissimus/Agapitus) stay excluded -- blocked by the real,
separate octave/subordination-rendering gap, not by an unmodeled
Transfiguration.
- exaltation-of-the-holy-cross: reuses the Finding of the Holy Cross's
content wholesale (ex Sancti/05-03) -- collect/antiphon via a cross-id
`propers` pointer, Matins nocturn-readings duplicated (no cross-id
lookup exists for that mechanism).
- dedication-of-the-basilica-of-the-most-holy-savior: reuses the
existing Common-of-a-Dedication (collect-c8, benedictus-antiphon-
common-of-a-dedication), real unique Nocturn 2 vita of her own. Her
secondary, St. Theodore, stays excluded for the same
octave/subordination reason as above.
- presentation-of-the-bvm: real unique collect of her own; her
Benedictus antiphon is a substituted Common reference
(truncate-and-add-alleluia edit specific to this feast), authored as
her own file.
Also: our-lady-of-the-snows.yml was missing its own Nocturn 3 (she
defers to Commune/C11's own Gospel-incipit-plus-Bede-homily, same as
Presentation of the BVM) -- added.
Test updates (not regressions): three tests had fixed proof dates
colliding with the newly-added feasts, updated to reflect the new,
correct behavior. npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

Previously excluded entirely under a stale "fixed BVM feasts aren't
modeled" note -- wrong: this app already models three other fixed BVM
feasts (assumption, immaculate-conception, nativity-bvm), and this one
has real, complete content too. Sancti/08-05.txt's untagged rank block
gives her Duplex Majus with real Nocturn 2/3 content (the
miraculous-snowfall founding legend of St. Mary Major); SanctiM/08-05.txt
confirms she's on the Monastic 1617 track too, reslicing the same
Lectio4-6.
Unlike the other three BVM feasts, she has no proper collect or
Benedictus antiphon of her own (her Rule says "ex C11" -- Common of
Feasts of the BVM) -- collect-c11.yml and
benedictus-antiphon-common-of-the-bvm.yml are real, reusable Common
templates, wired via collectCommon/benedictusCommon like any other
Common-only saint, not a private per-saint duplicate.
Live-checked via direct resolution: she wins outright on 2026-08-05 and
2027-08-05, with antiphon, collect, and Matins reading all resolving
verified. npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

st-telesphorus, st-hyginus (Jan 5/11, octave-absorbed — their day's Nocturn
2/3 is given over to a Nativity/Epiphany homily rather than their own vita)
and vigil-of-st-john-the-baptist, vigil-of-st-lawrence (Vigils whose single
3-lesson nocturn was misread as "no content") were left unauthored earlier
in the SanctiM pass on the theory that non-proper-to-the-saint text
shouldn't be sourced. Per direct correction: this app pools every available
reading first and figures out display later, so real sourceable text
belongs in the pool even when it isn't proper to that particular saint —
flagged as such in each file's own header, not disguised as the saint's
own vita. vigil-of-all-saints was re-checked under the same policy and
confirmed still genuinely contentless (a bare @Commune rubric).
npm test (365 tests) and tsc --noEmit both pass.

13 of December's 15 SanctiM-track saints authored (st-bibiana, st-nicholas,
st-ambrose, immaculate-conception, st-damasus, st-lucy, st-thomas-apostle,
st-stephen-protomartyr, st-john-apostle, holy-innocents, st-thomas-becket,
st-silvester-i, st-eusebius-of-vercelli); st-barbara and st-melchiades left
unauthored as Common-only. This is the twelfth and final month of the
SanctiM (Monastic 1617)-track saints' Matins readings pass — 129 saints
authored across the whole year.
Adding St. Eusebius of Vercelli's content surfaces a 3rd Matins lesson on
the existing Advent III Tuesday proof date (Dec 15 falls under his
commemoration); updated matins.test.ts accordingly — the "commemorations
get their own reading" design working as intended, not a regression.

14 of November's 16 SanctiM-track saints authored, including All
Saints of the Benedictine Order -- a genuinely Monastic-only feast
with both rich content and (unusually for this pass) an available
English translation. St. Martin I is another off-date case like St.
Paul the Hermit, and two more saints (St. Emilian, St. Odo) turn out
Monastic-only-but-Common-only, extending October's wrinkle.
9 of October's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored. Found a new wrinkle:
St. Justina and St. Gall are genuinely Monastic-only (no Tridentine
file at all) but their own SanctiM files turn out to be Common-only
with no proper Lectio content -- being Monastic-only doesn't guarantee
real text to transcribe.
All 9 of September's SanctiM-track saints authored -- the first full
month in this pass with nothing left unsourced. Includes the
Dedication of St. Michael the Archangel, whose SanctiM file borrows
structure from his separate May 8 Apparition file but still resolves
its actual readings back to this day's own Tridentine content.
13 of August's 16 SanctiM-track saints authored, including the Duplex
I class feasts of St. Lawrence and the Assumption of the B.V.M. The
Assumption's presence confirms this app's calendar already maps fixed
BVM feasts, despite an older note in the parent workspace CLAUDE.md
suggesting otherwise -- flagged in memory as stale documentation to
verify against, not trust blindly. 3 saints left unsourced (Common-only
or Nocturn-1-only vigil content).
13 of July's 18 SanctiM-track saints authored (5 left unsourced,
Common-only). Discovered the Monastic calendar keeps a full Octave of
St. Benedict (Jul 11-18), which explains several dates' SanctiM files
not matching their expected saint. Also hit a translation-misalignment
bug on St. Bonaventure's English source (paragraph boundaries don't
line up with the Latin), worked around with an original translation.
